filigree: iseeellis: I technically had the right answer, but it bitched at me about significant figures. 1 oz is 29.57 mL. 29.57mL x 12 = 354.8 mL. It says that my answer is technically correct, but I used the wrong number of sig figs? (I apparently should have put “355 mL.”) WHY? Because one (1) 12 oz can of beer equals 355 mL, duh.
